The pirate ship was a mode of transportation for the Cooper Gang and other pirates in "Dead Men Tell No Tales," and exclusively the Cooper Gang in "Honor Among Thieves" of Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. It has six cannons on either side, and is used for ship-to-ship combat as well as traveling to locations that are too far away to reach by other methods. The Pirate Ship is also used as a safe house inside the deck when the ship was not in sailing mode.
History[]
The Cooper Gang first obtained the ship in the mission "X Marks the Spot." Sly Cooper had to steal the pirate ship from Captain LeFwee in order to sail to Dagger Island. Later, Dimitri Lousteau collected blast amplification collars for the cannons in order to improve their effectiveness in the mission "Deep Sea Danger."
The ship then was used to defeat LeFwee's elite ships and during "Operation: Reverse Double-Cross." After that, the gang used the ship to sail to Kaine Island. Because of the ship's construction out of wood, it did not get attached to the metal buoys that Dr. M had set up to trap ships. In the mission "Danger in the Skies," the ship was equipped with a biplane launcher, which was used by Sly Cooper to get his biplane into the air with little to no runway space.
After leaving Kaine Island following the events that transpired there, the status of the Cooper Gang's pirate ship is unknown.
Ranks[]
There are 10 attainable ranks, each unlocked with an addition 10 points starting at 0. Every enemy ship sunk is worth 1 point and every enemy ship captured is worth 2 points. This means getting to the Swabbie rank (10 points) can either be attained by sinking a total of 10 ships, capturing a total of 5, or a mixture of the two (e.g., 4 sunk, 4 points + 3 captured, 6 points = 10 points).

Trivia[]
- While in the Pirate Ship's safe house, only Sly can be selected to be on the ship's deck.
- Following the completion of the episode "Dead Man Tell No Tales," the pirate ship can be found anchored far from the dock and can be accessed at any time. Only Sly can reach the ship however, as the only way on board is via a tight rope suspended above the sea.
